Directions: Upload your First “Card” assignment, as explained here (and also in the Orientation module).What are Cards?
Cards are things you write. They could be done on notecards, a sheet of paper, or via a document for online submissions.
In a card, you make ONE (1) philosophical move in reaction to the assigned reading.
So, each card has a page range (pages 1-7 in Aristotle’s Ethics, for instance). You read those pages and then make ONE (1) move.
What’s a Move?
Philosophers do things in arguments, like Challenge, Clarify, and Corroborate.
Challenge
When you challenge something in the reading, you suggest that something the author said is not true. Essentially: tell me why what the author has said is false. When you do this, there are three key points:
- you CITE
- you employ CHARITY
- you use your own words to explain the challenge.
Clarify
When you clarify something, you introduce a distinction that is helpful to the current argument. Essentially, tell me a distinction that is helpful to keep in mind while thinking through this argument. When you do this, you must do three key things:
- you CITE
- you employ CHARITYLinks to an external site.
- you use your own words in explaining what the clarification means and what it will do for the argument.
Corroborate
When you corroborate something, you suggest that something the author has said is true. Essentially, tell me why the author is correct in something they said, providing additional evidence. When you do this, you do the following:
- You give more evidence for that claim.
- You CITE the text,
- You employ CHARITY,
- You explain in your own words.
